sorry, been trying that auto post thing... it doesn't really work for me
just grabs whole chunks of a single post mostly and posts them

so much for robots, I'll do my cut ups myself.

One weird thing I've noticed lately is the rise of gambling over the past 5 years or so.
It used to be when you'd go into a bodega, or some place selling lottery tickets, mostly people would be there to buy stuff, and occasionally people would pick up a ticket. Maybe on days when the big drawings happened, there would be more.

Now, you can hardly go and buy anything at a place that sells lottery tickets, because there's gonna be a throng of gamblers. What's worse, is that I see people sitting there picking out numbers, boxing them, etc... as if it made a difference!

Maybe the worst thing that gambling does to you is make you superstitious about numbers/luck.
I mean, if you want to drop a couple of bucks on the theory that "there's no reason why I won't be the one to win", well, I can see that.
But any set of numbers is as likely as any other to come up.
Don't waste your precious life force and time trying to "figure it out"

Red Carpet Ride

tape up the tar baby
for days of nostalgia
to come
and clear the decks
there will always be time
for swabbing clean
and now we must remember
to forget
and open up our nets
a welcome mat
for that which we'll become
even though it hurts
in the mean time

to catch ourselves
fishing
is the way of this war
behind enemy lines
with an eraser
in hopes of rescue
of the other
and turning hate into love
the war becomes a party
at the end of time
we just have to make it real
that's all.
